Angry woman crushes 2 week old kittens with hands

Kittens killed: 'It's an unconscionable and shocking act'

When Ashley Barnes was accused of stealing an acquaintance's prescription medication last month, police said, the 21-year-old charged into the woman's bedroom near Millsboro and crushed three of the woman's 2-week-old kittens with her hands.

One of the kittens died on the way to the veterinarian. The other two had to be euthanized there.

"It's an unconscionable and shocking act," said Dr. Carol A. Tavani, a board-certified neuropsychiatrist and executive director of Christiana Psychiatric Services, reacting to details in the court documents.

I wouldn't call her a piece of crap, but chances are she's ripe for hurting humans if she hasn't already. She needs to be put away.

My natural inclination towards empathy, even for people who do wrong, returned nothing but a feeling of revulsion when I read this and tried to understand what might have been her feelings when she did it.

It is literally beyond my emotional comprehension.

She won't have people cheering for her in a year or two.

The picture in the 1st article. Major chip on her shoulder. Definitely one scary looking person. The twisted sneer...and her eyes. Yikes. I would not have someone who looked like her in my home. I'd be afraid of her.

Remember 2 weeks ago there was a report from California of a cat being set on fire?

Monsters who do things like this deserve to have their tickets canceled from the human race.

She does have a cruel looking face. That smirk: ugh!
